In The Year 2000 AD

So branded as a year of futuristic change, 2000 was in many respects, a significant year for The United States....the beginning of the end. It was in this year that it became absolutely clear that there were regional political ideologies that simply cannot co-exist even in a nation founded on diversity. The US Civil War of the mid 19th century has nothing on the political divide that exists today (2009).



State and federal rights are but a tip of the enormous political iceberg that plows throughout the day to day lives of all US citizens now. Everything is political and divisive to the point of insanity. Richard Nixon's legacy of lies and hate set the mold for the modern Republican Party, for it is they who are responsible for having destroyed the United States. I find it a paradox that the Republican Party were at the helm while the nation was restored to order during the Civil War yet it was they whom brought it to a long painful end. There is no compromise with their politics, their way or no way. That is not the spirit of the US, but of the Feudal governments of past history.

I believe that a division into autonomous "nation states" would be the best case scenario as a means to peacefully co-exist. An intellectually-based, technologically superior North East and Midwest to Illinois union that would emphasize a democratic social society. The south would be a capital-based republic with wealthy nobility and larger poor population of serfs to serve them. The West would be fractured and mostly provide the entertainment for their neighboring nations.

Sound good?
